Overview

About 4 Bluegates Place

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

4 Bluegates Place is a four-bedroom detached house in Colchester (CO4 5XY). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1808 sq ft) and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2015) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
